Need to extract some information from someone, without leaving traces?
Now for the use of your evil party, or antagonist, Secaferro's Spike, a truly torturous spell.
----
Secaferro’s Spike
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]
Level: 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: touch
Target: One living Creature.
Duration: 1 round/2 levels (D)
Saving Throw: Will saves partially
Spell Resistance: No
Upon activation of this spell, a wispy tendril will appear out of the caster’s hand, before shaping into a spike.
Attacking someone with Secaffero’s Spike does not harm them, but makes them feel the pain as if they had been, thus, a person "stabbed" in the stomache, will feel as if he had been stabbed with an actual weapon.
The target of this spell must make a successful will save (DC 10+1/2 CL), or gain a -3 penalty on all checks against intimidation(multiple uses stack, but the penalty is reduced by 1, so, upon the second successful use, an additional -2, and the third, -1)
Beating the required save by 4 or more means the target will not feel pain.
----
the 0 level might seem a bit low, but, it doesn't actually deal damage, and will find most of it's use in synergy with intimidation, and how often will you stop in the middle of a battle to extract some questions from a bad guy?
and with a low level character, the save is not too difficult, and can be made 50% of the time.
Seeing as how most casters will want spells that actually do damage, this is more for flavour.
